2024/25 Iliman Ndiaye

Needs a decent ball playing LB that’s prepared to get beyond him on his side. Myko is a decent defender but he’s not a Moyes full back.

I honestly think he’s still not properly sharp - hasn’t looked right at all since returning from injury.

Hopefully a good pre season will let him hit the ground running again next season though

Agreed his performance pre and post injury are like night N’Diaye

Bravo Sir!!!

I just think we aren't playing through him anymore and he will have to learn to play offball a little better. That could be because we are easing him back from injury with less workload but he is not the water carrier atm.

I sense a total football equation coming. Quote me.

Well you didn't say quote me accurately

Goal and assist return maybe but N’daiye also does the graft too.

The ‘hard yards / dirty work’ as one manager put it.

He does more tracking back yes thats true .

Noticed that. We play it to Harrison every chance we get now, but without O'Brien overlapping he's pretty ineffective.

Moyes wanted us more solid when we played the top 6 + Tarkowski's injury, but I say this change was a big factor behind our winless run.

Excellent work. I really N'Diayed that one.

 

[ToffeeScot]

I think he should be used as a left forward that inverts. That's his best position for me. I also think he will look far better in that role when we have two new players. Firstly a competent attacking left back and secondly a central midfielder that is far more creative and expansive. We need a midfielder like Bruno/De Bruyne etc. of the PL era or the up and coming ones like Arda Guler or Nico Paz who can take our central qualities up another level and in turn elevate the rest of the team.

Lads out there praying it stays 1-0

Came back wearing strapping/support. Agree, some rest and rehabilitation over the summer should do wonders.
